Binge-Worthy TV Shows To Watch Right Now
We know that times are tough and everyone is trying to adjust to the “new normal”. Figuring out life working from home, adjusting to virtual social gatherings, and finding ways to pass the “extra” time that we now may have in the day that isn’t dedicated to commuting, etc. Thankfully, our favorite streaming services and television networks are jam-packed with entertaining shows that will make it easy to pass the time. If you’re subscribed to just one streaming service, or all of them, here’s our recommendations for the best binge-worthy TV shows on each platform.
Netflix
If you’re not already a Netflix subscriber, the time is now to join. Besides the variety of shows and movies they offer from all of the studios, their lineup or original content is pretty binge-worthy on its own.

Great British Baking Show
Peaky Blinders
The Crown
Love Is Blind
Schitt’s Creek
Better Call Saul
Good Girls
The Office
Parks and Recreation

HBO
To quote Kristen Bell as Ingrid de Forest on Parks and Recreation when asked about the Eagleton government purchasing a subscription for HBO for each resident, “it’s not TV.” She couldn’t be more right. If you’re looking to add a streaming service or channel to your lineup and Home Box Office isn’t already in the list, adding it won’t be a decision you’ll regret. With a lineup of great original content, plus both new and throwback movies you’ll be sure to love, HBO is always an entertaining option.
